Don’t marry young. Live your life. Go places. Do things. If you have the means or not. Pack a bag and go wherever you can afford to go. While you have no dependents, don’t buy stuff. Any stuff. See the world. Look through travel magazines and pick a spot. GO!
Even if things seem dark and hopeless, try to laugh at how ridiculous life is.
Work hard, but don’t prioritize work over family, friends, or even yourself.
But either way, trust me when I say that you’re going to wish you took better care of yourself in your youth.
Floss regularly, dental problems are awful.
You can ask for advice from someone you respect, then take your situation into consideration and make your own decision. Essentially, take your own advice is my advice…
Don’t hold onto material objects, hold onto time and experiences instead.
Instead, why not appreciate every small moment? We don’t get to stay on this crazy/wonderful planet forever and the greatest pleasure can be found in the most mundane of activities. Instead of sending a text, pick up the phone and call someone. Call your mother, have a conversation about nothing in particular. Those are the moments to hold onto.
If I could have paid myself all the money I’ve paid out in interest over the years, I’d be retired already.
Trust your significant other, because who else are you supposed to trust?
It will only become more impossible as you age and become responsible for other people.
You see race, gender, age, clothes. Forget it all. You know nothing. Those biased assumptions that pop into your head because of the way your brain likes categories, are limiting your life, and other people’s lives.
